Comments Thread For: St-Pierre Reveals The Rules For The Proposed Oscar De La Hoya Fight

[MONGOOSE66]

Its like a PGA golfer competing in a game of H-O-R-S-E with a NBA player. I guess some people want to pay for this stuff. I don’t.

As if Dana White cares if its 2 minute rounds and bigger gloves, he can stop Oscar and triller's plans without lifting a finger or spending a cent, easy work everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

In principle, Dana should let GSP do whatever he wants, its a terrible match up anyway which I wouldn't want to see and boxing/MMA contracts have worked like this forever, so at the end of the I guess I don't care what happens.

Thanks for letting us know.

Were there any rules governing what the fighters could wear?

What do you mean like could Oscar wear girls clothes?

I feel bad for GSP on a personal level but at the same time of course Dana isnt going to do anything to help Oscar of all people line his pockets. And unless theres directly money in it for him he isnt going to be keen on a competing sport cynically using MMA fighters for mainstream attention and clout either.

MMA is kinda getting exposed how I personally feel.

Would you think boxing was getting exposed if half of the biggest UFC PPVs these days were main evented by ex-boxers getting tapped out in the first round?

If GSP is “retired” what legal bounds does the UFC have? Lol

I think White if anything PERSUADED GSP not to take the fight and that’s what GSP is riding on from the public perspective, yet GSP is detailing boxing’s gloves for what? The article hints that an old 50 year old coked head DLH would demolish GSP?

let’s be real, GSP saw DLH grinding in great shape as of late and he got shook, bringing up gear for comparison. That’s all GSP scared to fight a boxing legend, not White caring. All White could do is persuade one of his UFC legends not lose to rival promoter DLH since it makes White look bad… Proving boxing is no joke with fists. But if GSP really wanted to fight DLH he could. He’s not an active UFC fighter. Unless of course White is still GSP’s manager and he would threaten him with legal action if he fought DLH? GSP is an idiot

MMA fighters want that boxing money. Seems the only MMA fighters making that level are Conor McGregor abs that’s because of his appeal with a segment of American fans who will pay big money to see him fight no matter how often he loses

[Fanofreason]

Dana is showing up and coming combat fighters - not to go to UFC go Into boxing.

[Liondw]

Dana should've allowed GSP to make that extra money.

He does have some point I guess; in that boxers and of course the youtuber Jake wants to fight mma guys who can't box well, yet few renowned boxers go fight mma guys in the UFC.

A huge part of it is because a couple years ago, GSP Came back and fought Micheal Bisping for the Middleweight title, but a huge part of that agreement was that the winner had to fight Robert Whittaker, of course GSP won and then left, but at that time, Dana made a huge deal about how he trapped George and he knew GSP wanted a one and done so Whyte made sure he put terms around that Whittaker agreement , to where if George wanted to fight again in any competition, he must fight rob before going ahead with other fights, I believe Dana practically uses slave contracts. GSP should of knew better tbh, Another of Dana favourite tricks, is too sign a guy on a 4 fight contract but knows he only intends on giving them 2 and then leaving em on the shelve. UFC is one murky sport man, paying guys peanuts. It’s disgusting!
